Good day! Thanks for this resource...the "quickinstall" section of your site, which is suggested as a troubleshooting resource in several locations, is of no use in troubleshooting. It only verifies that the installation is working...if it's working...mine's not working...
Running: Win98 SE Apache 2.0.43 ActivePerl 5.8.0.802 (Build 802) CPAN 1.63 (PHP 4.2.3 - FYI) (MySQL 3.23.53 - FYI) I have successfully set up the server, ActivePerl, and the CPAN module. Using CPAN, I installed Apache::ASP, resulting in new directories and files located in my C:\Perl directory. The good: - HTML and PHP are being served just fine - Connecting to and using the MySQL installation works well The bad: - The .ASP files are being served as text/plain - My httpd.conf file chokes on <Perl> and PerlModule I cannot find any mention of what MIME-type an ASP file is, to try adding it to the httpd.conf file, and all of the suggestions to "add these lines..." are not recognized by Apache (chokes). If it's an .htaccess problem with ActivePerl, then their suggestion to look at/use the one provided is in vain, as that file does not exist, and was not installed by CPAN...and means that I need to post to a different group. Do I really need to buy a program like MS Visual Studio and compile Apache::ASP from scratch? Is there something I could try to get .ASP files served as ASP other than that? I am posting (a) a representative error message from an Apache start attempt, followed by (b) selected text from my httpd.conf file, following my signature at the end of this note. I very much appreciate any thoughts y'all might have. Thanks in advance!
